The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 30 Not Like
Shen Shuning was just talking at first, but one day the master asked the princes and princesses to do beauty paintings, and Shen Xiao painted Jiang Qingyue.

He didn't describe the face in detail, but Shen Shuning recognized it at a glance. This was Jiang Qingyue who was riding a donkey on the street one day.

Everyone else was riding horses, but she rode a donkey and swaggered through the city, but others didn't dare to laugh at her.

At that time, Shen Xiao was looking out of the window on the second floor of the street tavern, and his eyes lit up when he saw the scene.

"A donkey is harder to tame than a horse, yet she can ride a donkey."

Shen Shuning didn't take it naturally.

"Really? Then why are there more people riding donkeys than riding horses?"

Later, Shen Shuning understood why.

Because donkeys are cheap and horses are expensive, ordinary people cannot afford to ride them.

It is precisely because donkeys are difficult to tame, cheap, not as tall as horses, and not as comfortable to ride as horses, that the princes and nobles do not touch them.

The woman in Shen Xiao's painting is dressed in red, her face is full of spring breeze, and she has a heroic appearance. She is riding a donkey, which means that she has thousands of troops.

"Princess, princess," Dan Hong woke her up, "it's time."

Shen Shuning woke up from his dream and sat up like a carp.

Today is the little princess's full moon banquet, so we can't be late for too long.

As soon as she arrived at the Qianyuan Hall, she signaled that there was no need to pass the news, so that everyone would not disturb their interest by saluting her with great fanfare.

In the palace, the queen was holding Concubine Liu's hand affectionately and talking about herself.

"You have only been in the palace for more than a year and you have taken over the affairs of the Sixth Palace. It is inevitable that some of the concubines will be dissatisfied. I got some topaz bracelets. You can distribute them to the concubines later so that they can feel some appreciation for you."

Concubine Liu's face was a little complicated, but she didn't dare to disobey, she could only say: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Shen Shuning wanted to laugh when he heard this.

If you really want the concubines to express their gratitude to Concubine Liu, there is no need to say it in front of so many people.Doesn't this mean that Concubine Liu doesn't know how to do things and has never thought of rewarding the sisters in the palace? How compassionate she is as a queen.

It just happened that she couldn't stand the Queen's hypocrisy.

Shen Shuning stepped forward and said, "Concubine Liu asked me a few days ago if I would like to give treasures to the sisters in each palace. She also wants to make the sisters happy during the Chinese New Year."

Walking to Concubine Liu, she continued: "But I wonder if this will show that she is trying to win over people and give people control. After all, the queen is in charge, and the queen is not very generous. She doesn't want to be too pushy, so she calls She forgets it."

Liu Qingshu's eyes lit up, as if seeing a guiding light, she hid her excitement and saluted to her.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Naturally, she didn't say those words. The eldest princess was here to help her out.

Shen Shuning supported her with both hands: "There is no need to perform such a big ceremony."

The queen's face changed slightly, then quickly returned to normal, and said calmly: "What the princess said is true. It's just that the princess doesn't know something. The previous renovations of the Imperial Garden and the Hall of Supreme Harmony cost a lot of money. I spent my own money and didn't have any spare money to go there." I bought some rare treasures to give to my sisters. Only now do I have some spare money."

In this way, it seems that the queen understands the righteousness and sacrifices herself for others.

Shen Shuning sneered.

Why use his own money to repair the imperial garden? Shen Xiao knew that there was a lot of ill-gotten money in Prime Minister Cao's house, so he deliberately asked the queen to repair the imperial garden.

At that time, in order to win Shen Xiao's favor, the queen took the job without saying a word and asked her old father to pay for it, so she would definitely do it beautifully.

However, the Queen did not have the time to supervise every step of the renovation. In fact, the flowers and stones did not cost a lot of money.

Most of the money went into the national treasury.

After the incident was completed, Shen Xiao was particularly happy and greatly appreciated the queen. He favored her for two months and then gradually became indifferent.

Then, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was built.

The Queen had indeed made a lot of contributions to the national treasury in these two matters, so she allowed her to take advantage of her. Shen Shuning did not argue.

Seeing the eldest princess standing there and scanning the palace, Liu Qingshu asked: "Is the princess looking for Chu Jieyu?"

Shen Shuning was silent, "Yes." "She went to Huguangxie to find Xin Jieyu at the end of the morning. She wants to come with her. The time is almost here."

"No hurry, it's still early."

Shen Shuning thought to herself that it was normal for Qingyue not to want to come early to the little princess's full moon banquet, but Shen Xiao had not arrived yet...

At this time, the little princess was taken out by the wet nurse and showed to the eldest princess first.

"Princess, look, the little princess is white and tender, she looks like the emperor!"

The concubines flattered each other, "Yes, the eyes and nose are like the emperor, and the mouth is like the eldest princess!"

Shen Shuning looked intently at this pink and jade-carved little face. The little baby opened its round eyes and looked at her curiously with its small mouth pouting.

But the more she looked, the more confused she became.

Is she blind? Why can't she see anything like Shen Xiao?Shen Xiao has sword-shaped eyebrows and peach-blossom eyes. This child has completely almond-shaped eyes, and his eyebrows have not yet grown. He is indeed cute and does not look like Concubine Meng Hui.

But isn't it true that it's like Shen Xiao?To say that her mouth resembles that of her aunt is even more nonsense.

Shen Shuning suppressed the turmoil in her heart, stretched out her hands to hug the little princess, teased her little face, and asked around her: "How is Concubine Hui recently?"

Liu Qingshu said: "I have used the best medicine and tried every method, but there is still no sign of waking up."

"Everyone has his own destiny." Shen Shuning sighed, "Good and evil will be rewarded. This is true."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and asked the queen: "Do you think so?"

There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to make any move. Although the eldest princess's tone was calm and calm, the coldness in her eyes when she spoke made everyone feel cold.

The queen was silent for a long time, and then Shi Shiran said: "What the princess said is true. My parents personally taught me to abide by female virtues and respect my husband since I was a child. I will never do anything that is detrimental to the emperor or Daxia."

Although he was talking about himself, everyone immediately thought of the eldest princess who killed her husband and turned Xi Sheng upside down.

Compared with words, the eldest princess is so rebellious...

Liu Qingshu said: "The little princess almost died, and the emperor almost lost his flesh and blood. Doesn't this count as a disadvantage to the emperor?"

She is only a concubine, and the matter of taking over the Sixth Palace has not yet fully won the hearts of the people. She should not have choked with the queen in public. She was so impulsive, maybe for the eldest princess, or maybe for herself.

Liu Qingshu glared at the Queen angrily and said boldly: "The Queen, if you are not virtuous, how can you be virtuous as a woman?"

The queen pointed a long golden armor at her angrily.

"presumptuous!"

It's just a matter of being bullied by the eldest princess' words. Who is Concubine Liu? Even if she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, she is only in the position of concubine. How can she commit such a crime?

Aunt Zhou wanted to step forward to teach Concubine Liu a lesson for the Queen, but when she saw Dan Hong who was about to make a move, she retracted her body.

Shen Shuning handed the little princess into the hands of the nanny, took out a large [-]-year-old gold lock from his sleeve, and carefully placed it in the little princess's quilt.

Turning to Liu Qingshu, she said: "I will stay in the palace for a long time. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to me. As long as I am here in the summer, I will not let you suffer the drunken man's stage again." injustice."

This public declaration is an official form of protection.

Liu Qingshu burst into tears of gratitude and didn't know what to say. She could only say sincerely: "Thank you, Princess."

Shen Shuning turned to look at the queen again and said with a smile: "Some people don't believe in this evil, but they want to touch this princess. I wonder what the consequences will be?"

For example, Chu Ying.

Although she couldn't find the person who framed her, Fang Bai worked hard and didn't end up with anything good.

The queen's face was extremely gloomy.

Shen Shuning ignored it and said to Liu Qingshu, "It's still early. Can you walk around with me?"
